Today, I started the mods on my atsf freights. The two rail pilot supplied was silver so I had to paint it. I've gone for a more satin black look and am painting the two rail steps and all underbody detail the same. Their are holes drilled for the 2 rail steps so installation will be easy. However, here is the rub, the 3 rail steps are pinned to the truck side frames and take some time getting off and leave a couple of holes. Tried the swap of the vent windows into the correct position and it works fine. Requires some cleaning up of the glue and I scraped some yellow off the sill. Oh well. One other thing I have cut off most of the light in the cab with a paint pen in hopes it dims the light. should be able to reveal the completed units tomorrow or the next day.
The flat satin looks so much better than the shiny stock part
